  • Upsarg (Prefix): Meaningful morpheme attached to the beginning of a root word to alter its meaning (e.g., प्र + हार = प्रहार, आहार)।
  • Pratyaya (Suffix): Morpheme attached to the end of a root word to form a derivative word (e.g., सुंदर + ता = सुंदरता)।
  • Key Difference: Upsarg precedes the root word; Pratyaya succeeds the root word.
